For two decades, the armory has trained professional artists to use their expertise and enthusiasm to teach and inspire individuals of diverse ages and backgrounds.
Programs: Provided art education workshops, professional exhibitions and presentations to the general public and schools. Reduced tuition was provided to low income households for participation in tuition-based classes. Also provided a community center for use by artists and tax-exempt organizations; over 100,000 visits. Many of these services are provided free to the community of pasadena in exchange for the rent free use of the armory building.
